Outer Limits 4x4 Board

thanks mate that is a good tread. all looks pretty positive towards the Portal diffs so thats good.

hello guys,

Just thought i would start a tread for those people out there lucky enough to have a set of portal diffs.

Some action pics would be great but i am also looking reviews and opinions on portal diffs. Positives and negatives! Strength and reliability, and also cost v's gain.

Hey guys

how much would this conversion cost? And are the wheel tracks different? With the 100 series diff?

Looks great mate!

What size lift are you running?

what is the fuel usage like and the power? Do the tyres suck the power abit?

Hey mate you have to remember your putting your car through a fair bit of stress when you take it hardcore off road.

So noises can be fine but I would check all your bushers and engine/gear box mounts.

Blow it out your arse mate it was just a question..

Hey everyone,

just a quick question regarding Coil tower & shocky mount Mods.

i have seen bolt on kits for other Vehicles which lowers the mounting point of both the coil and the shocky to effectivly lifting the vehicle.

has anyone done this to a GQ patrol and if so is it possible to get this ...

Oh ok cool, do you know if you can still hook up the original hoses to it.
On the factory air box there is a little plastic fitting that you attached to a rubber hose it has to do with the vacuum system I think. It also goes to a sensor which tells you if the air filter is clogged up.

What's that's air box for in the pic???

Hey mate looking to do the same... APT fabrication should be able to help.

hey mate,

injector pump leak at 55,000km ($3200 reco pump supply and fit)

plus ifs & irs = poo offroad.

hey mate i have a 4.2 efi patrol auto.

extractors to high flow cat and muffler, 2.5 inch crush bend system.

it can be a little dronie over 3000rpm. like speeding up onto a high way.
but in low range it ...

hey mate got a switch put into the dash to manually engage the condensor fan.. i use it when in traffic/all low speed 4wding/ when coming off the highway etc..

i dont no how much it helps but i figure its better off pulling in air than sitting there doing nothing. i dont run the A/C much, i like ...

hey mate i had this problem with my passanger door. the little plastic clip the goes into the actuator broke due to the door lock getting sticky and getting harder and harder to lock. over time it worked every now and again but then one day i desided to fix it.

i threw some lanolin on the lock to ...

i have these alloys.. im sure they r a 0 degree offset or very close to it... i would suggest -20 or higher... plus u will probably rip the shit out of the alloys with serious 4wding.. also would depend on your setup i guess if u limit your upward travel it might be ok with the offset of your alloys ...

i will get in first then mate use the *search* or google GQ quarter chop.. or look in the GQ bible

hey mate looking into this myself...

there are a number of good and bad points about turboing a tb42e

GOOD:
Forced induction (added power)

helps of room in engine bay.
EFI already helps too


BAD
